Hey there! If you're thinking about buying a 3D printer, there are definitely some things to consider before taking the plunge. First, you'll want to think about your budget and what you'll be using the printer for. If you're just getting started with 3D printing, you may want to look for a more affordable option, while if you're planning on using it for professional work, you may need to invest in a higher-end model.


You'll also want to think about print quality and speed. Higher-end printers will typically produce better quality prints, but may also take longer to print. Additionally, some printers may only be compatible with certain types of filament, so you'll want to make sure that the printer you choose is compatible with the filament you plan on using.


As for good and bad experiences, 3D printing can be a really rewarding and exciting hobby, and can be a great way to bring your ideas to life. However, there can also be some challenges involved, such as the need for regular maintenance and troubleshooting. Additionally, print quality can vary depending on the printer, and it can take some trial and error to get things just right. Despite these challenges, though, many people find 3D printing to be a really fulfilling and enjoyable hobby or profession.
